Perhaps one of the most famous regions in Wales, Snowdonia is centred around the mountains and glacial forms of the Snowdonia National Park. Holidays in Snowdonia are a rich fusion of historic intrigue and outdoor adventure, peppered with excellent food and drink in between. Hotels surrounded by natural beauty in Snowdonia The area's historic mountain railway that climbs to the summit of Mount Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales is amongst its key attractions, with views stretching across the sea to Ireland and more than 100 lakes within its folds as well as peaks such as Cader Idris and Tryfan. Portmeirion is the architectural haven created by Clough William-Ellis - a vision of perfect coastal village life with Italianate architecture, exotic woodland and miles of romantic walking territory. Bardsey Island is one of the region's most curious attractions, showcasing incredible natural habitats, the tallest lighthouse in the UK, sixth century monasteries and Neolithic circles.

Of course the National Park itself is a seemingly endless opportunity to explore natural beauty. Walk, hike or mountain bike your way through the likes of Italianate architecture and bring the family dog with you as well, to stay in welcoming hotels such as Trefeddian, known for its family friendly environment and cheerful greetings on water's edge. Holidays in this part of the world are an opportunity for real quality time - fresh air, good books, playing games, running around on the beach and always excellent hospitality.
